Does this mean I want to take over the world?

Busy with school and social activities and all that, but I found this test and I couldn't resist sharing. :~)

Yay for being different! ;~)

In other news, my original plans for tonight got canceled because the whole Nashville area is...OUT OF GAS!! (Which reminds me of one of my favorite Firefly episodes, which is called "Out of Gas," but I digress. Watch Firefly if you've never seen it. There are only 14 episodes and a movie.) It's really bizarre. Apparently there was a rumor that Nashville was going to run out of gas, so people panicked yesterday and flocked to gas stations. So just pray that we get gas back before a couple of things come up this week that I have to drive to! :~)

Until next time, God bless. :~)

I like soapboxes.

WARNING: Unpopular political opinions ahead. But hey, this is my own personal blog, so welcome to a small part of my brain. ;~)

Tonight marks the end of the Republican National Convention, and I'm a lot more excited about the Republican ticket for President/Vice-President than I thought I was going to be a mere week ago.

(Oh, hi, by the way. I'm now on the other end of the country, still unpacking boxes after three months, but I thought it was time for a blog redecorating day and high time to blow the dust off this poor little blog. ;~))

I'm unashamedly a conservative, which means more often than not I support the Republican party, which seems to be rather unusual in my age group. I supported Mike Huckabee throughout the primary season, and wasn't particularly enthusiastic about John McCain as the final nominee. I was ready to vote for him in November, but more as an anti-Democrat vote than anything else.

Then last Friday he announced his pick for VP--Sarah Palin, governor of Alaska, a very spunky conservative woman. And I got way more fired up about the ticket than I ever thought I would be. So I've been enjoying watching the convention unfold this week, shaking my head at how ridiculously left-biased the majority of the media is, and have been cheering on Sarah Palin like nobody's business. (I've also come to appreciate John McCain more--his hour long speech tonight covered a lot of ground, and the last part actually moved me to tears, so go him!)

Also? I'd just like to say how sad it is that a good chunk of Americans are apathetic enough about the political process that they'll tune into maybe a debate or two, watch the political commercials and read articles from one or two papers, and think they know all there is to know about the person who wants to run our country. Every media outlet has a bias, and it's really annoying to hear false information parroted back (about either candidate, honestly) because you're too lazy to go and do a few hours of research on your own. If, after that, you honestly don't like the candidate you thought you didn't like when you started out, well, good. But please, get informed! That's the beauty of the Information Age--there are so many places to go to get your hands on information!

I'm sure I'll blog more about the political race as it draws closer to November, but the last thing I'd like to say tonight is you go Sarah Palin! A politician with an 80% approval rating and a snarky sense of humor? You can be my VP any day of the week.
